NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — ROTH Capital Partners (ROTH), www.roth.com, a full service investment bank focused on serving emerging growth companies and their investors, today announced that it will host its 9th Annual Solar & Storage Symposium in Anaheim, CA on September 20-21, 2022. This event is held in conjunction with RE+, the largest and most comprehensive event in North America for the clean energy industry.
Powered by SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association) and Smart Electric Power Alliance, RE+ is comprised of: Solar Power International (flagship event), Energy Storage International, RE+ Power (including wind, and hydrogen and fuel cells), and RE+ Infrastructure (electric vehicles and microgrids) bringing together an extensive alliance of renewable energy leaders for multiple days of programming and networking opportunities.
Co-located with RE+ the ROTH Symposium will provide an opportunity for solar power industry executives and institutional investors to meet and exchange ideas about trends and issues in solar and storage. Our event will be hosted by Philip Shen, Managing Director, Senior Research Analyst, Sustainability, and Jesse Pichel, Managing Director, Investment Banking. The event will include (1) 1×1/small group meetings with ~20 companies; (2) fireside chats with company executives, which includes meetings with a variety of distributors, developers, companies, and experts; (3) a keynote luncheon presentation by John Smirnow, General Counsel and Vice President of Market Strategy at the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), who will provide the latest trends in solar; and (4) a “must attend” Oktoberfest industry networking reception.
According to Mr. Pichel, “We believe there is a strong setup for the next growth cycle in solar, with robust PV demand conditions given both the energy dislocation in Europe and IRA in the U.S. Our 9th Annual Solar Symposium will provide our institutional clients timely access to a wide array of potential solar investments across the supply chain. Given the pending cycle, we anticipate investor conversations will focus on supply chain and availability, rather than demand visibility.”
Mr. Shen stated, “With the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, it is an exciting time to be in solar. We see a decade of attractive growth ahead. The 30% ITC along with two ITC adders will ultimately push solar into parts of the US that heretofore were unaddressed. Further up the value chain, the manufacturing production tax credits should establish a robust base of US manufacturing to serve the domestic and international markets. While solar stocks are up nicely post-IRA passage, we believe we remain in the early stages of this positive sentiment environment.”
Our event is designed to allow participants to efficiently meet companies throughout the entire solar value chain—polysilicon, wafer, cell, module, inverter, downstream developers, U.S. resi, as well as private companies and industry experts—in one of the most important solar …….
